...sailed on her Mediterranean and African coast cruise, yesterday. Mr. Weld will be accompanied by three friends, among them Mr. R. D. Sears, and Mr. Mercer, and possibly Mr. P. Grant, Jr., will be of the party. The Gitana is fitted out for the cruise in the most perfect manner possible, no detail having been overlooked. She sails first for the Bermudas, thence to Madeira, Gibralta, the coast of Spain and the south of France, thence to Italy, Sicily, Algiers and Tangiers in Africa, the Canary Islands, Trinidad, working through the West India Islands and so north to Florida...

The weights ranged from thirty pounds downwards, and no stipulation was made as to the manner in which they should be carried, but the majority of the competitors carried them knapsack tashion across their backs.

Financially considered, also, the season has been successful, thanks to the large receipts at the polo grounds, so that we have not to bear debt as well as defeat. To be sure our defeat at the hands of Yale is tempered by the fact that we scored a touchdown against them...
...Peters brought a touchdown. The ball was brought out and Richards kicked an early goal for Yale, only eight minutes having elapsed since the game began. Princeton now settled down to work, and soon Moffat's kicking sent the ball flying around Yale's territory in a threatening manner. During the confusion Yale really made a safety, but owing to an agreement made before the game it did not come under the definition of a safety in this year's rules. Princeton tried hard to score and kept the ball close on Yale's goal nearly the whole three quarters...
